About
As a counselor who has struggled with ADHD and social anxiety, I understand the impact that mental health can have on daily life.
Before earning my master’s degree in counseling education, I worked with autistic children in a clinical setting and teenagers in an inpatient setting. I primarily work with children and adolescents experiencing anger, anxiety, and depression, particularly those with ADHD or autism. I also have experience working with adults and families.
I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel comfortable enough for me to be honest, direct, and straightforward when needed. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, to meet each client where they are and tailor treatment to their individual needs.
I don’t just believe that people have the power to change—I know they do. I’ve seen it happen. When we work together toward a goal that is meaningful to you, I believe you can make lasting, meaningful change.

Over 14 years of experience, my person-centered practice is rooted in providing a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you are fully heard, respected, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges on your own terms.
I enjoy working with clients who are feeling stressed, anxious, stuck, or unmotivated and are ready for things to change. Whether you’re navigating life changes, taking on new challenges, or seeking more balance, I'm ready to work with you as you explore and grow. I provide a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and encouraged. Together, we can focus on building healthier coping skills, improving your relationships, and creating a blueprint to help you move forward with more confidence and clarity.
My approach is collaborative and person-centered, meaning that you set the agenda and guide the process at a pace you’re comfortable with. I'll help you to clarify your goals, reflect on what’s most important to you, and highlight areas for growth. Together, we’ll create a clear path forward and help you stay accountable to yourself.
In our work together, I hope to create a space where you can express yourself without judgement. I'll help you to set meaningful personal goals and develop practical steps to reach them. My hope is that you leave each session feeling supported, understood, and ready to work on making the changes that you want to see for yourself.

Andrew LeBlanc is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a long history of working in mental health and a wide range of experience. He's been in this field since '93 before becoming a social worker and has worked with many different populations from young adults to the senior community.
Andrew received his Master's of Social Work from SUNO School of Social Work. He has also experienced what it is like to be affected by mental health personally and believes this gives him an advantage as a service provider.
Andrew incorporates a variety of techniques into treatment including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based, and strength-based approaches. "I believe that mental health is just as important as physical health and there should be no stigma in seeking assistance," he says. If you think that Andrew might be the right fit for you, don't hesitate to reach out.

As someone who believes we are more alike than different, I strive to show unconditional positive regard for all the individuals I work with.
I’m Ne-Juan Shaul, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling from Xavier University of Louisiana. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while also exploring the ways culture, core beliefs, values, and motivation shape how we think, feel, and behave. I work with adults and teenagers experiencing anger, anxiety, depression, delusional disorder, and relationship conflicts.
I’m down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy should feel approachable and collaborative, so I strive to create a relaxed environment where you can be yourself while still doing meaningful work. I meet clients where they are, treat the whole person, and believe that people have the power and ability to make meaningful changes in their lives. At the same time, therapy is a partnership—you have to be willing to show up, come prepared to engage, and take an active role in the process. I won’t do the work for you, but I’ll be there to provide the tools, support, and encouragement along the way.
Deciding to start counseling can be one of the most challenging steps you take. Inviting a stranger into your personal life isn’t easy, and I can’t promise that therapy will always be comfortable or that you’ll get exactly where you initially imagined. What I can promise is that if you come willing to be honest, engaged, and ready to work, we’ll work together to help you move toward a place that feels healthier and more manageable than where you started.

As a 45-year-old African American woman navigating menopause, motherhood, and marriage, I bring lived wisdom, clinical insight, and a deep calling to walk alongside other women 35 and up as they reclaim their voice, vitality, and vision.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and communities through compassionate, culturally responsive care. I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress, parenting challenges, identity development, and healing from past emotional wounds. I create a warm, emotionally safe space where clients can reconnect with themselves, restore their energy, and imagine what’s possible.
I hold a master’s in social work from Louisiana State University. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and strength-based, mindfulness-informed care. I provide insight-building psychoeducation and tools clients can use beyond the therapy room.
Whether you are facing a tough season, supporting your child, or simply needing a space to feel heard, I am here to help. I offer a grounded, compassionate approach that meets you where you are and supports meaningful progress at your pace. When you are ready, I welcome you to take the next step and schedule a session with me.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.
Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.
